Responsibilities
With Hinode observations and other data from spacecraft and ground-based observatories, applicants are expected to perform data analysis for leading researches on solar physics and its related field.
Depending on the applicants' interests, the research topics can be selected from various kinds of topics, including the heating of the corona and chromosphere, coronal dynamics, solar flares, generation, development, and dissipation of solar magnetic fields, Sun-heliosphere connection, and Sun-laboratory plasma comparisons.
In addition to science researches with Hinode, applicants are highly encouraged to participate in new research projects (including international balloon project SUNRISE-3) and research developments for the future solar physics missions, such as Solar-C. Applicants are expected to make major contributions to Hinode's scientific operations, by working as Chief Observers for onboard telescope.
Applicants may also contribute to the verification and calibration of acquired data.
